I agree.
I did power down, and my steempower is increasing beacuse of my curation and author rewards.
If I want I can still decide to power up (immediate effect), or even convert my SBD into steem as weel.
Before you powerdown you have to make sure that :
- you have enough steem power to generate enough curation rewards
- you are bullish enough on steem to invest time curating and creating content
- you are ready to power up at anytime !
I didn't start this until I had a few thousand in SteemPower. In fact when I posted this post, I was paid 9 cents just for posting it. So I still have power to help with upvotes.
